not yet, cuz no company will sponsor a 5 yr old, it just doesn't make sense, cuz she can't enter any comps or nothing just yet, but keep up her skiin and i'll bet she'll make it onto a company team...

she's not bad, but the fact of the matter is there are a lot of 5 year olds at that level. and there's not much reason to sponsor a 5 year old unless she's winning tons of contests. once she really starts progressing at age 12 or 13, there's a chance.

Maybe if she was doing spins on like some jumps or doing rails, something that actually appealed to the general public, which skiing doesn't in the first place.

wait until atleast 8 years old or so. Make sure she can throw small threes and slide some jib, it will happen eventually.

I know this dosnt matter to you guys but she kills it in the race course. they set up a nastar style fun course with timing ever sunday and she is consistently 20 seconds behind the leaders who are full grown adults and varsity racers who are 150lbs heavier than her

yep. Most kids learn to ski at 2 years old. She did nothing but ski. Maybe she could get sponsored for racing? I was expecting to see some grinding and at least real hitting jumps, and doing 3's.

no offense but..no..there are a bunch of little kids liek that at my mountain that ski all the runs on the hill. i mean totaly give her props for me and just tell her to keep trying her harderst and it could happen, especialy since she is starting so early.... and since she is too young to get a job you should get her some new skis.

yeah not to be a dick but anybody that starts at 2 or 3 is gonna be ripping around the mountain like that at 5.By the time i was 5 i had already skied 50 or 60 days. Show me a 5 year old that can spin and i will be impressed.

you have to understand shes 5 and cool easily lose interest because of a fall or an accident or just cuz shes freakin 5 years old and could say she doesnt like skiing anymore for no reason. wait 5 years at least. Remember now a lot of kids that are pro now could backflip by age 8, 7s by age 9, etc ,etc. im sure sean petit was even further then that at his progression which is incredible. I saw a 5 year old boy doin 180s, grabs, and gettin some insane air for how small he was....should he be sponsored, no becuase hes 5.

^ keep in mind though hes 9 its prob a lot easier for him physically to do a 9 then it is for you do a 9. watch sean petit spin it is almost as if he isnt spinnin cuz his COR is so low and small.

I could ski down double black diamonds when I was a 5 year old girl.  

That girl kills it, but I've had kinderski students who kill it just as hard.  If she keeps it up, though, she could probably get sponsored later on.
